It’s always been one of the first blogs we look at each day, although we usually chicken out of joining the sometimes heated debates in the comments threads. We’ve only enjoyed it more in recent months as it gave us a glimpse into a world we didn’t know well — that of the pub landlord — in a way which demystified it and even made it sound like fun.

Now it seems the blog is winding up, we can only say that we’ll miss it and that we hope a Gunmakers blog might follow soon so at least we’ll know what beers to expect when we pop in.

I fell a bit gutted actually. I have followed it regularly since the start having interacted with Jeff (then known as Sandy Dancer to avoid upsetting his teetotal boss!) on the Beerpages.com boards prior to the blogs launch. The blog has become so much more interesting and poignant as the view has shifted to that from behind the bar. very sad.
